CSS - Hover Works, Active Doesn't... Why?
This is kind of a continueation of a thread in the JS forum. But I am trying to do a CSS only thing here, so I thought it would be more appropriate here. I have these tabs that change color by altering the background position. Normal is orange, hover is yellow, and active is supposed to go kind of pink. Hover works fine as you see. But active does nothing, both in FF and IE.
I gathered up all the style stuff that's relevant and put it all in the one file, tho that's not usually how I code things. But anyway, the code can talke clearer than I can. http://www.colleenweb.com/tests/atest.html Why doesn't active work??? It's late at night so the head isn't 100% but Ive been beating on it a while. Thanks!!! Similar TutorialsCan anyone help me get this to work in IE? Here's the link to the page I'm working on, which I'll be moving from my site to the proper domain soon. ... (annoyed - can't post urls as a new user, which makes this forum limiting - is there a way around this? How about if I try "#" = "." and "|" = "/" http:||krisbunda#com|bb|db-series-planters#html ) ... Here's the "thumbnails" CSS I'm using: CSS Code: Original - CSS Code .gallerycontainer{ position: relative; text-align:right; margin-left: 0em auto; margin-right: 0em auto; /*Add a height attribute and set to largest image's height to prevent overlaying*/ } .thumbnail img{ border: .25em solid #FFF; margin: .5em .5em .5em .5em; height: 8.5em; width: 8.5em; } .thumbnail:active{ background-color: transparent; } .thumbnail:active img{ border: 0em solid #3F0; } .thumbnail span{ /*CSS for enlarged image*/ position: absolute; background-color: #999; padding: 0em; left: -250em; border: .25em dashed gray; visibility: hidden; color: #FFF; text-decoration: none; text-align:center; height:auto; width:auto; } .thumbnail span img{ /*CSS for enlarged image*/ border-width: .25em; padding: 0em; height:auto; width:auto; } .thumbnail:active span{ /*CSS for enlarged image*/ visibility: visible; top: 0em; left: 1.5em; /*position where enlarged image should offset horizontally */ z-index: 5; height:auto; width:auto; }
And here's the HTML: (well, the html will have to be viewed in the browser because of the "No URLs" rule) Thanks in advance for any help. Thanks for taking the time to read my question. It's been a while since I last tried making a page. I've got some images as href's and want to show a border around them on the hover. It's not working, they're just showing up as purple (default visited). This makes some sense as the links are just bookmarks on the same page. But in my css I have link, visited, and active all the same color. Only hover is different, and none of them are purple. I've read this http://www.w3schools.com/css/css_pseudo_classes.asp and I think I've got it, but it's not working. HTML Code: <a class"NavButtons" href="AssetDataDBHelpFile.htm#AssetForm"><img src="Computer.jpg" width="133" height="84" alt="Asset Management Form"></a> <a class"NavButtons" href="AssetDataDBHelpFile.htm#PeripheralForm"><img src="Peripheralbutton.jpg" width="133" height="84" alt="Peripherals Management Form"></a> <a class"NavButtons" href="AssetDataDBHelpFile.htm#ReportCenter"><img src="Report.jpg" width="133" height="84" alt="Report Center Form"></a> CSS Code: a.NavButtons:link {
border-color: green;
border-width: 2px;
border-style: solid;
} /* unvisited link */
a.NavButtons:visited {
border-color: green;
border-width: 2px;
border-style: solid;
} /* visited link */
a.NavButtons:hover {
border-color: Red;
border-width: 2px;
border-style: solid;
} /* mouse over link */
a.NavButtons:active {
border-color: green;
border-width: 2px;
border-style: solid;
} /* selected link */
This is the new site I'm working on: http://animalemergencybloomington.com/Index2.html Link and Visited Link colors work, but I can't get Active or Hover color to work. (Doesn't work in any of the browsers I've tested it in.) Right now I have this in the <head> css Code: Original - css Code <style type="text/css"> body { color: #000000; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Verdana; margin: 0px 0px; } A:link { text-decoration: none } A:visited { text-decoration: none } </style> <style type="text/css"> and this for the <body>: <body bgcolor="#FFFFFF" text="#000000" link="#0000FF" alink="#0000FF" vlink="#1E90FF"> adding a:active and a:hover colors to the style gives a "parse error" for those lines when I try to validate and doesn't work anyway as far as getting a color change on hover. I've been trying different combinations in the body and style all afternoon but get error warnings on everything I've tried except the above combo. I'm just trying for links that are never underlined (hate how cluttered that makes things look) but turn red on hoover. Help? Thanks, Ez Hello, I am working on my HW problem with CSS, it's about rounded and angular corners in menu (active or hover). I can't post picture (not permitted), but probably you know what i mean, rounded corners are created with image and angular are created with padding by CSS. Angular is ready, now i have to do rounded, which is more hard. I have 3 pictures, left rounded side, middle and right rounded side. But i really dont know how to add it to a.active or a:hover elements. Middle picture will be repeated depending on text long, so i can't do 1 picture. Thank you for your help. Hi there, Kindly have a look on below CSS property. What i want to ask is: when i'll click on a button, it should be look active. I mean it would have to get property of .sidebar_menu:active But it doen't works. Please elp me out from this. Code: <!--Sidebar menu button start-->
.input {
color : #FF9000;
font-size:20px;
;
}
.sidebar_menu{
border: 0px;
background: url('images/word-real.jpg') no-repeat top left;
font-size:18px;
font-weight:bold;
text-decoration:none;
color:#FFFFFF;
font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica;;
width:97px;
height:42px
}
.sidebar_menu:hover {
border: 0px;
background: url('images/word-over.jpg') no-repeat top left;
color:#009BC9;
}
.sidebar_menu:active {
border: 0px;
background: url('images/word-over.jpg') no-repeat top left;
color:#009BC9;
}
br { clear: left; }
<!--Sidebar menu button End-->
Code: <a rel="11"><input type="button" value="worship" class="sidebar_menu"/></a> <a rel="22"><input type="button" value="prayer" class="sidebar_menu"/></a> <a rel="33"><input type="button" value="cell" class="sidebar_menu"/></a> <a rel="44"><input type="button" value="city" class="sidebar_menu"/></a> <a rel="55"><input type="button" value="mission" class="sidebar_menu"/></a> I am trying to create a horizontal navigation bar. Everything is exactly how I want it except the a:link, a:visted, a:hover, a:active are the standard default colors and not what I specified. Even the background color changes - just not the font color. Here is the css code: Code: /*top bar settings*/
#topbar {
float: top;
height: 20px;
background-color: #5094f9;
clear: both;
padding-left: 10px;
text-align: left;
font-family: Verdana, Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
color: #FFFFF;
font-size: 14px;
font-weight: bold;
}
#topbar a:link, #topbar a:visited {
background-color: inherit;
text-decoration: none;
color: #FFFFF;
font-size: 14px;
font-weight: bold;
}
#topbar a:hover, #topbar a:active {
background-color: #FFFFFF;
font-family: Verdana, Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
text-decoration: none;
color: #50949;
font-size: 14px;
font-weight: bold;
}
#topbar ul {
list-style: none;
padding: 0;
padding-top: 2px;
margin: 0;
}
#topbar li {
display: inline;
margin-right: 160px;
}
Here is the html code: Code: <div id="topbar"> <ul class="horiz"> <li><a href="/home.html">Home</a></li> <li><a href="/about_us/about_us.html">About Us</a></li> <li><a href="/other_regions.html">Other Regions</a></li> </ul> </div> or if it helps to see the whole thing click here for test.html click here for the css Thanks! Hey Guys/Gals, So I'm almost over my cross browser woes, but I have 2 remaining issues. here's the site: http://www.RoundtopRiders.com/v2/ 1) As you can see in FF, Safari, Opera, IE7... my menu has hovers to give the appearance of being tabs. Now, if you try this in IE6, the black borders appear when you hover (this is odd, since :hover isn't supposed to work in IE6). Problem is, the black borders don't disappear when you hover off. In order to make the borders go away, you have to scroll down and get the menu off the visible screen area, then scroll back up. So basically, the borders are just hanging there on the screen. Any ideas? 2) My sidebar is way broken in IE6. None of my links work, and the CSS rounded bottoms isn't loading. This isn't as much as a problem as the links not working. I think when the links problem is fixed, the css background images will resolve too. I appreciate everybody's help with this. Thanks in advance. - Jason Hi, Is there a good way to use css to make every element with a specified class name to have some hover attribute, for instance .class:hover would do something? For some reason it doesn't work for me unless I say div.class:hover or a.class:hover, etc. I have to specify an element. Hello. I am new to css and i made the following h1{ position:absolute; left:850px; top:300px; color:green; } I put this in a form that i wanted to be shown at the right bottom of my screen and in mozzila it worked fine, but i found out that in internet explorer it didn't and in general i coudn't view right anything that had specific positions. Is there a bug? My web page looks fine on FF and Chrome, but doesn't on IE. Everything is pushed up. Anyone have any suggestions? I have searched the net and can't find a solution. egoboosters . org / newindex1 . htm Here's the code (it's all in the one file). (I had a link but I'm too new here) Code:

Internet explorer refuses to apply the border style to the center (or either of the other) images. Any thoughts? (This is a small test case, the style must be applied with js in the actual application I'm building). hi, i wanted to change a look of form submit buttons a bit and i found out i can do it using inline css, example: Code: <input type="submit" name="subbtn" value="Send" style="background-color: #fbbe2c; width: 120px; font-family: tahoma; font-size: 12px; font-weight: bold; color: #66666;"> but can't figure out how to define it using internal or external css. i tried this: Code:
<head>
<style type="text/css">
input.btn { background-color: #fbbe2c; width: 120px; font-family: tahoma; font-size: 12px; font-weight: bold; color: #66666; }
</style>
</head>
...
<input type="submit" name="subbtn" value="send" class="btn">
which seems the most correct to me, but it doesn't work. style defined in this way is ignored. i'm sure there is a way to do it, but it seems i don't know the right way. could you help, please? Hi There all, I've got this problem with a overflow div tag. I've tried just about everything possible. Easy way of saying it, I want a content box that is basically form 80px of the page down to the bottom of the browser. This "content box will be scrollable, but i want a menu to be the top 80 pixels of the page. EDIT: IE just does the content in the full page! Here's sample here of my small css: Code: <style type='text/css'>
#content {
top: 75px;
bottom: 0px;
width: 100%;
position: absolute;
overflow: auto;
}
</style>
Thanks in advance! James Hi, I have a strange problem where an inline style works, but if I put it in a new style class, it won't! Here is the CSS for a menu list: Code: #menu li{
vertical-align:middle;
height:2em;
padding-left:7px;
padding-top:6px;
float:left;
margin-left:25px;
background-color:#8D8387;
display:block;
}
And then I want to apply this to the first list item: Code: .noMargin{
margin-left:0;
}
When I apply that class to the list item, nothing happens. However, when I use the inline style: style="margin-left:0;", it does work. What's going on? Thanks i know that IE doesnt support the :hover being added to anything but links, is this the same with :active? was just wondering whether i could have a style change when the user clicks on a form button I'm going mad with this, I tested the CSS a:hover function over FF 1.0.7 and IE6, and the style file is simple: PHP Code: h3 { margin:10px; color:#636500; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-style: normal; } p { margin:10px; color:#636500; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-style: normal; } a { text-decoration: none; } a:hover { color:#636500; } a:visited { color:#cecf9c; } a:link { color:#cecf9c; } searched through the forum but seems nobody has got this problem... I just want the link to change color, I imported the css file to my html and it worked for the first time. I clicked on the link and then use brower's "Back" button to test it again, but the hover feature is not working anymore. I think it may be affected by the a:visited style, but how do I make a:hover work all the time? Thanks for helping. Whats' wrong with this? a:active doesn't seem to work at all: Code: <style type="text/css">
#navcontainer
{
margin: 5px 0 0 5px;
padding: 0;
height: 20px;
}
#navcontainer ul
{
border: 0;

}
#navcontainer ul li a:active
{
background: #000000;
color: #fff0000;
}
</style>
HTML [CODE<div id="navcontainer"> <ul id="navlist"> <li><a href="index.php">Home</a></li> <li><a href="inventory.php">Item two</a></li> <li><a href="#">Item three</a></li> <li><a href="#">Item four</a></li> <li><a href="#">Item five</a></li> </ul> </div> [/CODE] P.S. I just include this menu in a PHP page. We'll that will work iff you put # on the target page but that must not be. Thanks! |
